MQ’s have orbs. Midpoint conjunction of MQ
orb s 2 to 2.50 degrees, depending on which planets are involved.

272.
The tighter the orb of the MQ, the greater
the power.

273.
Magi Quads in declinations are Magi Dek
Quads or MDQ’s.

274.
Magi Dek quads are also formed when 2
midpoints are in parallel to each other, and the 2 midpoints are formed by 4
different planets.

275.
The number of degrees separating one planet
of a pairing from a planet of the other pairing will always be the same number
of degrees separating the remaining 2 planets that form the MQ.

276.
Longitude MQ’s create a symmetrical
quadrangle. Magi Dek Quads are similar (See charts 21a – 21c, Book 2, page 42
–43). Midpoints of A and D are parallel to midpoints of B and C.

277.
Both MQ’s and MDQ’s are mathematically
equivalent.

278.
Visually, there is an important difference
between the way we visually represent MQ’s as opposed to MDQ’s. It is important
to understand and remember that when the lines are drawn to connect the 4
planets, in the case of the MDQ, the paired planets are connected by the
diagonal lines and not the parallel lines like in the longitudinal
MQ’s.

279.
The actual pairings of planets are vital to
interpretations of MQ’s and MDQ’s.
